This event was part of Reimagine Events

A special gathering in which we both consider and reimagine the spaces in which we live, die, and grieve. This event is only open to people of ethnic African descent.

Callin’ in the beautiful people from the African Diaspora for a special gathering in which we both consider and reimagine the spaces in which we live, die, and grieve. Join Oceana Sawyer and Sundari Malcolm on December 16th for a Town Hall Event!

Let’s gather, breathe, move and share our insights as we ponder the questions:

How has 2021 changed your approach to life?

How has it changed how you view death and your own mortality?

What does it mean to live and die well?

What elements are useful in spaces in order for us to grieve well?

What ancestral traditions do you call on to empower your life?

This event is only open to people of ethnic African descent. Cameras on is a requirement of attendance. Your respect is appreciated.

Facilitated by Sundari Malcolm and Oceana Sawyer, this forum is co-hosted with The Dinner Party, is a platform for grieving 20- and 30-somethings to find peer community and build lasting relationships. Reimagine Board Member Meesha Brown will provide a welcome and introduction.
